Hey fellas,
I'm planning out an install of an expansion tank near my water heater as I've been having a lot of relief valve water discharge. I've got 1/2 inch copper tubing lines but the tank I'm looking at (Amtrol ST-5) has a 3/4 inch connection - Seems most tanks I'm finding are 3/4 inch connectors. I've been having trouble finding a T that will connect 1/2 inch pipe with a threaded 3/4 inch opening for the tank to screw into. Is there any harm in using a reducer connector on the tank that converts down into 1/2 inch before connecting it to the Tee? Or if not, any recommendations for an expansion tank for a 40 gallon heater at about 60 PSI ?
